SAFETY AND BEAUTIFICATION:THE FOUNDATION HAS A MULTI-PHASE PLAN TO IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE OF THE COMMUNITY'S ENTRANCES, INTERSECTIONS, AND COMMON AREAS. THIS YEAR, THE FOUNDATION INSTALLED PUBLIC ACCESS GATES IN FIVE LOCATIONS TO CALM TRAFFIC AND CREATE A SAFER COMMUNITY FOR RESIDENTS. THE DESIGN OF THE GATES IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DECORATIVE IRON RAILINGS AND BRICKWORK PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED AT COMMUNITY BRIDGES AND ENTRANCES. LIGHTING, DECORATIVE SIGNAGE, IRRIGATION AND EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING WERE ALSO INSTALLED. THE FOUNDATION INSTALLED ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AROUND THE EASTOVER NEIGHBORHOOD AND REPLACED WORN AND DAMAGED SIGNAGE THROUGHOUT THE AREA.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH:SAFE, HEALTHY, SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITIES ARE ONES IN WHICH NEIGHBORS KNOW AND LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. THE FOUNDATION BELIEVES IN STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER. THE FOUNDATION HAS AN ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH CASEY ELEMENTARY, A LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL, TO SUPPORT THEIR PROGRAMS AND OTHER NEEDS. THE FOUNDATION WAS ABLE TO SPONSOR SOME SCHOOL EVENTS AND COMPLETE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FRONT AREA OF THE SCHOOL, INCLUDING PAINTING, NEW DOWNSPOUTS, AND NEW SIGNAGE. THE FOUNDATION ALSO SPONSORED THE ANNUAL HALLOWEEN BLOCK PARTY WHICH BRINGS HUNDREDS OF NEIGHBORS FROM THE EASTOVER NEIGHBORHOOD AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER, GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
COMMUNICATION:VITAL TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY ORGANIZATION IS THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY. IN ADDITION TO THE NUMEROUS PRINT COMMUNICATIONS THAT THE FOUNDATION SENDS OUT TO AREA RESIDENTS, A NEW AND IMPROVED WEBSITE WAS CREATED TO FURTHER ENHANCE COMMUNICATION EFFORTS.
